I cut apart four 5" strips of the ribbon in the kit and glued them pattern side down on a foam piece with a hot glue gun. Here's what they look like when glued.

And here is the back side.

Then I flipped it back over again to the front and glued the end of each ribbon to the base of the neighboring ribbon, like this.

I repeated the process until all the ribbon ends were glued in place. Then I glued the ribbon embellishment on the heart doily from the kit, and I used Worn Lipstick distress ink on the edges of the doily. It really makes it pop! I made a second one, and I used Seedless Preserves distress ink on the edges for that one, and it's a perfect match to the ribbon I used.

Now for stamping! YAY! I stamped out the little envelope from Waffle Flower and attached that to the center with a pop dot, and I stamped and die cut the thought bubbles, fountain pens, and ink bottles. They are soooo cute!

After the die cutting was done, I glued them onto the doilies. They are ready to go! These are great pre-made embellishments to have on hand for projects. They can be quickly glued onto a card base or journal cover when needed.

Wow Wow Wow! Naughty February has rushed along and is not giving us enough days to post all the LOVEliness from our Creative Team... so we have a treat for you, TWO projects today! One now.... one this evening - well evening for us Down Under, start of the last day of February for our Northern Hemisphere friends ;)

So this morning...... Amira plays with the Lawn Fawn 'Happy Mail' die and shows us how this weird looking flat thing becomes the cutest ever mail box!

I did go through the motions of die-cutting everything out in the correct color card stock in the tutorial, but for this photo tutorial, I will just show you how i did it with plain white card stock and how you can color it to your heart's desire.

This is what the die looks like when you take it out of the package.

I decided to NOT snip off the little bits. I was sure I would lose them and I want to show you how it looks like if you do NOT snip them off. You can still make the post box work for you.

Here is what it looks like.

I used black soot to make it a black post box.

For the lever, I used fired brick.

For the stand, I used gathered twigs.

For the letter, I die cut 2 and just exchanged the 2 pieces so that the heart was a different color to the envelope.

Once gain, you can choose to snip the heart or leave it attached.

For the inside of the post box, I decided to ink the exposed white with shaded lilac.

Now its time to assemble.

If you place the panel with the lever/smiley face towards the back of the post box, you can fold it down on itself and it will not be revealed in your project.

As long as your project will be taped onto something, the back will not be seen.

This is what it looks like when it is all taped down.

See you can't see the cut outs!

Now just add the red lever flag...

And it looks great!

Now just add an envelope...

So cute!!

Here they are, side by side, the postbox die-cut from coloured card stock on the right and the postbox die -cut from white card stock and then inked up on the left.

Did you notice I put an eyelet in this postbox so I can rotate that lever up and down??

I love how it turned out :)

Thank you so much for tuning in to this final project for the February Kit.
